Acupuncture
The ´Nei Ching´ also known as ¨The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine¨ is believed to be the first book ever written on Chinese medicine. The Yellow Emperor Huang Di (2697-2599) lived and worked on his opus around
Apart from harmonious nutrition, the Nei Ching recommends acupuncture, moxibustion and massage as aids to good health, clearly placing both acupuncture and moxibustion as recognised therapies as long ago as 200 B.C.
Intriguingly although acupuncture and moxibustion are widely accepted to be Chinese in origin, the recent discovery of the Tyrolean Iceman has suggested that a form of therapy involving acupuncture points was practiced in Europe over 5,000 years ago. The Iceman sports a number of tattoos along acupuncture channels on his back which correspond closely with acupuncture paths still used today.
Stone ´needles´ found in prehistoric tombs and dated around 200 B.C. are further evidence of the widespread practice of acupuncture in ancient times. Since the development of casting techniques acupuncture needles made from bronze, iron, silver, gold and alloy steel were introduced.
Coronary heart disease, though it seems a plague of our modern times, was also a recognised, serious medical condition in ancient China. Records show that as far back as 2,000 years ago, acupuncture was used as a treatment for heart disease.
In more recent times, acupuncture made its debut in the
sceptical western world during the middle of 1900. Despite its long history, it was greatly criticised by the scientific world as being a mere placebo. Although scientists of the day might grudgingly admit the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy they gave credit for any improvement in the patient to the patient’s own gullibility - he or she had been tricked into a mental self-healing process.
Completely oblivious to the underpinning philosophy of acupuncture, during the 1970’s, Europeans thought that acupuncture would only work if the patient believed in the philosophy of Mao Tze Tung. A group of fifteen French doctors were invited to China to assist in a full hysterectomy on twenty rabbits under anesthesia by acupuncture. The operations were successful, and when the French doctors enquired how it was possible, the answer was clear, ‘We have indoctrinated the rabbits in the philosophy of Mao’!
Note
Acupuncture is painful, the application of the magnetic plasters from Patch-On are painless. Those plasters are developed by Prof. Degueldre, President of the International Institute of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. He is the author of the book 'A needle in my hand' a 1180 pages size A4. considered as a legacy to Chinese Acupuncture
What is a MAGNETIC PLASTER?
The plaster consists of meticulously selected magnetic powder and a fine layer of non allergic glue mix with some herbs extract.
The magnetic plaster is the creative integration of Traditional Chinese Medicines and the most modern magnetic technology. It is based on the technology of the advanced transdermal therapeutic system known as TTS and the theory of magnetophoresis. It applies special magnetic field to open membrane pores and ensure the continuous energy to the specified acupuncture point. The application of this theory certifies the scientific nature, effectiveness, safety and authority of the Magnetic Plaster.
Apply to a clean and dry skin on the affected painful area directly or on the recommended acupuncture points. The hands should not touch the surface of the adhesive part. Press firmly on it after it has been placed.
Magnetic therapy has been recorded from antiquity and is now extensively used worldwide. Herbs come from nature and have little side effects on human beings
How long do I have to wear the plasters?
Replace with a new one after two days. Ordinarily, the cure cycle is one week, but for obstinate disease, it may need 4-8 cure cycles. If your condition does not improve, please consult your doctor.
How many plasters do I wear at a time?
More than one plaster can be worn at the same time depending on the area.
Is it equally effective if the plasters are placed slightly away from the points?
The effective area is 4--5 times of the patch area, so there is no problem to be slightly away, but the best effectiveness will be obtained from patching on the acupuncture points as recommended.
Can I wear and re-use the patch for the second time?
The patch should be used only once because the magnetic element may have been released out, and also for the sake of hygiene.
Can I bathe or swim with it on?
Yes, you can bathe or swim while wearing the plaster.
Gently pull from the edges towards the centre. Any remaining adhesive can be removed with citrus-based skin cleaning lotion or by rubbing alcohol. The patch may leave slight colour on some skin types. This will disappear within a few days.
Can it be applied on everyone? (Caution!)
DO NOT use on abdomen when pregnant,
DO NOT use if irritation occurs.
ONLY use externally.
Always consult your doctors for any ailments. In some cases, a slight increase in pain may occur initially owing to the magnet’s
effect on the organism’s self-healing energies. This is not a problem.
